Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream by David PlattMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Radical is a must-read for all Christians. Platt's writing style is straightforward and engaging. The whole book has a tone of urgency and excitement, showing Platt's passion for teaching others about Christ and spurring Christians on to good works.
Platt references scripture and theological concepts frequently throughout the book, then describes how he has seen those biblical truths played out in the church. All of it is easy to follow, so if you're unfamiliar with scripture, you won't be left behind.
Perhaps the greatest portion of this book is the end. After challenging the modern church's complacency and pursuit of the American Dream, Platt gives the reader five clear objectives to pursue within the next year. You'll leave the book not only with a clearly-articulated vision for how Christian life could--and should--be, but also with passion and conviction to pursue that goal.
If you're looking for a great devotional book for your own spiritual edification, this is a great choice. Although I read it on my own, you could get more out of it by reading it with a group and challenging each other to live out the spiritual principles that Platt exhorts the reader to absorb and live out.
